TACTICS OF TIE SUGAR 4

Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-There Weretx5
particular developments to-day y in
the sugar trust, but in the
trade there is no doubt that
the members Of the trust are WORK
ing hard and harmoniously. Men in the
trade are, however, SO ignorant concern
ing the "schemes OF men in the trust" as
outsiders. As rule the sugar men out
side of the trust will not talk for publica-
ton. They fear thst il they excite the
enmity OF the trust it will crush them.
Those in the trust will talk to no one.
They have sill along worked behind an
veil, fearing to let the pub
lie scrutin Sc their ways and means.
&'Thoge Sn the trust" said a well
known sugar man to-dsy. " apparently
waasAe press the price of raw sugar in
order to get what they want below the
present market value. They have not
purchased much lately, and probably have
enough on hand to last about two weeks
more, by which time they may force TO
the wall some of the weaker holders of
raw sugar, who will then have to
throw their holdings on the mar
kst. They may also be cal
culating upon the receipts of
the West India crop, which comes into
the market ABOUT Januasy !, and trust to
that to help them keep raw sugar down..
The indications are that the crop will hs
short, and on the strength Of this euesf
has gone up in London, and holders here
are already shipping there TO get the:
benefit OF the higher price. After eli,
there may not be shy glut here, in which
event the trust will not get sugar as
cheaoly IS it now expects"
